7 Days of Truth – #6
Previous Truths; #1, #2, #3, #4, #5
Truth #6; I’m really bad at math.
In scho
ol I’ve always been the person who gets good grades without really trying. It’s made me lazy, I’ll admit. So when something takes a lot of effort, I tend to panic and shut down. Math is one of those things. I’ve never been a friend with math, I’ve struggled with it for as long as I can remember.Now, unfortunately almost all of the professions I find interesting need a certain amount of math. So it’s become like my Achilles’ Heel. I have this one class that is a must-do on nearly all degrees I’d like to take. I’ve done it twice and failed both times.
It doesn’t help that I live together with someone who’s taken every math course known to man. “This course is so easy, you’re smart, you’ll get it.” Drives me insane! Yes, I am smart, except when it comes to math.
Leave me alone already!

7 Days of Truth – #5
Previous Truths: #1, #2, #3, #4
Truth #5; I don’t like children.And I’m not talking about just kid-avies in SL. I’m talking actual RL breathing and living children. I mean really. The first few years is just a big mess of slobbering, screaming, pooping and sleeping. What’s to like? You know, I don’t even think they’re that cute. A kid has to be exceptionally fluffy for me to think they’re cute.
You’d think it’d get better as they grow too. But no, I can’t even understand a kid under the age of 7. A lot of incoherent babbel is what I hear. How someone can find this adorable is beyond me. And go figure, as soon as they are understandable, they also start demanding things. And then they’re just a few years away from puberty. We all know what a big nuisance a teenager can be.
Anyway, this seems to be a truth that is very provoking to many people. But really, it’s not like I go around screaming “I hate you” to every child I meet. I give them the same initial respect as I do with any other person. I’m polite, I was raised well.
But, when asked one of the most moronic question in the world “Why don’t you have kids yet?” I’ll tell the truth. I don’t like them. Not even a little. Can’t think of myself as a Mother. And boy do people get their knickers in a knot.
And no, I’m not going to change my mind “when I grow up”.

7 Days of Truth – #4
Truth #4; I’m a compulsive Lister.
I have somewhere around 10-15 notebooks all filled with one thing. Lists. It all started a few years back when I was getting more and more frustrated about not remembering things. You know, old age and all. So I started to make lists. It started innocently with just the most important things and quickly spiraled in to listing… everything.
I have lists for blogposts, home-work, design ideas, alts, websites, stuff to buy (irl & sl), stuff to wish for… Well you get the idea. I have 2 notebooks by the bed and about 5 or 6 by the desk, all of which I use. It’s comes to a point where if I would lose one I’d probably go nutters. It’s also caused me to have a unhealthy habit of buying fancy notebooks all the time.
But hey, I rarely forget anything these days.

7 Days of Truth – #3
So far I’ve admitted to having a lack of discipline and being virtually organized.
Here’s Truth #3; I have coulrophobia (fear of clowns).
I know what most of you are
thinking now. You probably think I’ve seen (or read) IT and got spooked. First half is true. I have both seen and read IT. It took me about ten times as long as any other movie or book, but I did it. My attempt at shock-therapy. But I was actually afraid of clowns long before.As a kid I was probably the only one who actually detested the circus and by the age 4 I had physically abused a famous fast-food mascot with his own inflated balloon. No one seems to know why, I have no traumas involving clowns in my past.
None the less, I maintain that anyone having to paint a smile on is evil.

7 Days of Truth – #2
Yesterday I started of my truth challenge by admitting I lacked discipline. This next truth might feel like it’s in conflict with the first one.
Truth #2; When it comes to my virtual life, I am very neat and organized.
You’d think with my lack of discipline, this wouldn’t be so, but in fact it helps. Cleaning inventory or organizing hard-drives is what I do when I should be doing other things. Like homework. Or ads.
Unfortunatley this is a concept that’s exclusive to my virtual world. While my hard-drives, emails and inventory is neatly organized, my desk, bedroom and kitchen is a big fat mess. Piles upon piles of stuff.
Mind you, not gross, just not organized. Yet somehow I always manage to find exactly what I’m looking for anyway, which is probably why I don’t bother organizing it in the first place.

7 Days of Truth – #1
Prue over at Porcelain Diaries started a challenge a while ago. The challenge was to announce one truth about yourself once a day for a week. I’ve seen a lot of truths be revealed especially on plurk and I’ve enjoyed them, so… I may be very slow to jump on the bandwagon, but hey, better late than never.
So here’s Truth #1; I have extremely bad discipline and I’m a master of procrastination. I need either a bout of inspiration or extreme pressure to perform. I do my very best work the last few hours before a definite deadline.
Thankfully I’m very aware of my lack of discipline, so when inspiration hits, I produce in masses. Like for instance this challenge. I know that 7 truths in 7 consecutive days will almost certainly fail. I will be uninspired, tired or preoccupied.
So, when I’m inspired (like now) I’ll instead blog multiple truths and time-schedule them for each day. That way I don’t have to feel angst if I should want a day off-line.

Interact with a Blogger; A Challenge.
Ok, so I know yo
u read blogs (obviously, or you wouldn’t read this one) but how often do you interact with the bloggers? It’s safe to say that the majority of bloggers around depends on feedback to keep going. If what you’re doing produces no visible reaction, you quickly lose the motivation to do it.I know there’s a lot of people who read insane amount of blogs each and every day but very rarely posts any comments on them. You might feel that you have nothing valuable to say or that what you wanted to say have already been said by someone else. I’m urging you to rid yourself of these thoughts. Even if all you have to say is “Hey, I liked this post”, please do, it’s means so much to the blogger.
So, here’s the challenge. Find three (or more) blog posts to comment on today. If you’re having trouble finding something to comment on, here are some suggestions from around the blogosphere.
Marnix on the subject of voice in SL. – How do you feel about voice? Do you do it or not? Why? Tell him in the comments.
Crap Mariner on the subject of SLT. – Do you like the current time format in SL? Why/Why not? What do you think would be the best solution? Leave a comment with your opinion.
Alicia on Linden Homes. – Wonder what it’s all about? Have some thoughts on the project itself? Or maybe just compliment her on the pictures? It’s up to you.
Fayne on fashion for dancers. – How do you like the pictures? The items? Is there something in particular that stand out for you? Give her some feedback.
Here are some things that might make it more fun to comment. Go to Gravatar and set up your avatar picture. It will show up next to your comment on most wordpress blogs and some other sites as well. If you’re commenting on a blogspot site, you can set up a Google ID with your picture that works the same way.
Bloggers, here’s your challenge. Take a few minutes out of your life to reply to (at least) three of the comments you’ve received. Commenters also need feedback and it encourages them to check your site again.
If you accept this challenge, please comment (or trackback a post) and let me know how it went.
